Would the ability to freely choose the response to said effect constitute,free will. In order for there to be a choice, is it not necessary to have a stimuli to respond to? Sort of a chicken or the egg dilemma. So while the initial action may be beyond your control, is your response predetermined, predicated by external factors, or open to your choice of action-response? Ay, there's the rub.
